After Matt Lauer was fired from the Today show for allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior, the onetime TV titan stands to lose even more. Vanity Fair reports that New Zealand's Overseas Investment Office has said that it is considering
whether Lauer can keep the 27,180-acre sheep and cattle ranch, Hunter Valley Station, in New Zealand's South Island that he and his wife, Annette Roque, purchased in February of this year.

"A condition of the consent granted to Orange Lakes Ltd. to purchase the lease for Hunter Valley Station is that the individuals with control of that company must continue to be of good character," Lisa Barrett, deputy chief executive of policy and
overseas investment, said in her statement, referencing the holding company owned by Lauer and Roque.

Since being fired, reports in Variety and The New York Times have accused Lauer of shocking behavior, including using a button concealed underneath his desk to lock his door and repeatedly quizzing female producers about their sex lives. The
American media has been fixated by these stories, as has the New Zealand government; Barrett said the Overseas Investment Office is investigating whether this will apply to the good character stipulation.
